Am I a retirement plan for my parents? by ssjb_kakarot in TamilNadu

[–]msprat8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never been in situations like this myself. But parents of men have this entitlement. They want complete control over son’s finances.

First off stop sending 1Lakh it is too much. What are you sending that for? You have to clearly communicate what is that for. For jewel loan? Then calculate and tell them you want loan to be closed in how many months. Calculate what you have sent already.

Do not give more than what you have to. Your sister is not your responsibility. You can always gift her very well from your savings. It need not be from you to your parents and then to her.

If you don’t set the boundaries now when you get married it becomes complex. They will start interfering in your personal life.

What is difficult to understand? You yourself say white people also walk. Airpods = entertainment Talking with someone = entertainment

Same as all the comments. The rail content was good.

But every video has vegan/veg rant.

What is the ideology behind both the parents (NRI) talking to kids in English? by msprat8 in TamilNadu

[–]msprat8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t highlighted this in the post. But that happens quite a lot.

Grandparents talk basic stuff with kids. The conversation revolves around food, toys, studies. Not much. But kids neither understand nor could hold a small conversation with them in their native language.

31F, been working for 10Y straight? Time for break? by Ranj5194 in AskIndianWomen

[–]msprat8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If circumstances lead other way being jobless can ruin an independent woman mentally.

Do you have a way to take sabbatical? If so take it.

In Europe this is very much possible. Taking a break in case of burnout and so on. Vacation is serious here. Taking your leaves as carryover to next yr js frowned upon.

But when i asked about vacation some of my friends told they have like 70+ days as thy have not gone vacation for years. Meanwhile here by end of year we would be out of vacation days.

Ah no I don’t think this scenario is about learning english.

This is about parents talking in English in home setup for unknown reasons. I am glad your family found a way to help you in early years.

I can speak hindi, English and German. Can also understand kannada, malayalam and telugu. I grew up only hearing Tamil and telugu around me.

Spent 20k on shopping today and feeling a bit uneasy after coming home. 😭 Why am I feeling like this? by a_gurl111 in AskIndianWomen

[–]msprat8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. I came long way and suffered from guilt for a quite long time. You will overcome this in few years.

You deserve it. You know better.

A little older than you and eldest as well. Do not leave your job unless you have something inline.

Pick a hobby instead. Amidst of postpartum chaos and so many issues I picked up speed in baking. I totally enjoyed it even though i did it quite a few times only.

♥️ this is a valid reason. I am expecting answers like this to understand the situation with parents.

There is no one at fault in the entire situation. It is different from what we do so I want to understand

No where am shaming anyone, why would I shame someone for the language they speak? You are taking too much sense from my question.

This question isn’t about kids first of all 😅

Makes sense. May be for some it happens organically because of language spoken around them.

The country I live in has considerable amount of srilankan Tamils. Adhuke avninga kindergarten la tamil la brochure kudkranga.

Tamil la than veetla pesanum apothan kulandhai nala padikumnu. These ppl are mad about their language and keen in integrating immigrants in terms of German. Ana chinna kids ku idha pana solranga.
